Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Friday, 6 February 1942
[I Ching hexagram] 56.
12 1/4 (1)[Heroin]. Quite rested, chest free, morbid worry gone.
Woke 3 1/4 some 241 [asthma symptoms].
4 o’c increasing (2)[Heroin].
9 1/4 Waiter woke me no 241 but food began it badly.
9 3/4 (3)[Heroin].
12 3/4 (4)[Heroin].
Big lunch at 3 o’c: 241 came on badly (5)[Heroin].
Alice & Bayley [James Gilbert Bayley] to tea: quite OK.
6 1/2 (6)[Heroin] final—still aiming at “capital” theory. But it is quite certain that (a) the weather (b) my mood are immense factors.
10 very important to keep going with F.H. [Frieda Harris] so (7)[Heroin]. Total: 1 1/2.
Ham [Gerald Hamilton] phoned: will bring Mrs Cunningham—a 56! (PS Spelt Cunninghame. Address: Symbol for her etc (call is Message!) [I Ching hexagram] 35 Zin. Most appropriate. Specially [I Ching hexagram] lines 2 & 6).
Slept unprepared with light and fire on.
